So you want to devalue the UFC's LW belt?
It doesn't matter how McGregor got the lineal, undisputed title. Yeah he got it under really favorable conditions but he beat the lineal champion Eddie Alvarez. He not only beat Eddie he put a HOF worthy performance on.
And if you didn't know Eddie Alvarez is a top 5 GOAT in MMA at 155 pounds. He's literally won a championship in every promotion he has been in back in an era when the UFC didn't have 90%+ of all the talent on their roster.
I'm not even saying that McGregor is a better fighter than Poirier. He's not in my book. But context matter. Timing matters.
All this nonsense because you missed the main point, wow.
